61 degrees today so buzzed up to the range with my M1795 to work up a good target load with the new .678 shot. I wanted to try shooting patchless first so I started out with 40gn Goex FF, OP card, .678 ball and just a thick card over the ball. All shots at 35 yards and offhand. One load of one ounce #7 seemed OK.
Gun shot so sweet that all ten shots were just like that. It seems to be shooting a couple inches to the right so I corrected and hit the bulls eye a couple times. I'm all over the paper but at least every ball was a hit. Big improvement over patched .648 which was all I had until the new order got here. No rear sight.
Next trip I'll try lubed patches.
